As filed

Due to the limited offering last week there is no recent comparison for steers or heifers under 500 lbs. Steers 600 to 750 lbs were 5.00 to 18.00 higher and steers 750 to 900 lbs were steady to 7.00 higher on limited tests. Steers over 950 lbs were 3.00 lower. Heifers 500 to 700 lbs and 750 to 800 lbs were steady to 5.00 higher. Heifers 700 to 750 lbs and 800 to 850 lbs were 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Again there were limited numbers to compare to from the week before, so there was a limited on all weight ranges. There was a heavy offering and good demand.
